America Recycles Day: Give Textiles, Batteries, Bulbs and E-waste a Second Life

Ventura County will hold a drop-off collection for textiles, electronic waste, batteries and fluorescent bulbs on Nov. 20 at the county Government Center’s Service Building. The event, organized by the Public Works and General Services agencies, aims to keep hard-to-recycle items out of landfills. Homeboy Industries will sort the textiles, reselling suitable items and recycling the rest into products such as insulation and mattress pads.
